We started out on Saturday with Erin’s 2nd Birthday Party at my parents’ house. We all slept in, including Mckayla. Shortly after we got up and eating our breakfast, Fritz and Sophia were already in the backyard getting ready for the party. After the jump house was set up, I took Mckayla and Erin in [...]

Eye Exam
I took Mckayla in for her one year follow up appointment on her eyes. Despite the long wait, plus the waiting time getting her eyes dilated, Mckayla cooperated well with the ophthalmologist. She followed his commands (with my translation) and even giggled as the ophthalmologist distracted her with puppets on his fingers. At the end [...]

The Runs Again
Mckayla had the runs again last weekend. It started on Friday, and it was still going by Monday. I took her in as told by advise RN for check up. My parents dropped Mckayla off at the hospital to save me a trip. After her name was called by the MA, we went in for [...]

Where is….?
Mckayla is starting to figure out where her family is. She used to give us a confused look when we asked her where are her Grandparents, Auntie, Uncle, and etc. Recently, when she started naming her family routine, I’ve been telling her that her Greatgrandma is in Taiwan, Uncle is in Taiwan, Greatauntie is in [...]

No! No! No!
“No” is Mckayla’s favorite word of the moment. We asked her to say bye, she says “No!”. We told her to sit in her chair properly so she doesn’t fall over, she says “No!”. We told her it’s time for bath, she says “No! No!”. We told her to brush her teeth, she says “No!”. [...]

Grandpa’s My Favorite
Ever since my Dad showed up, Mckayla’s been following him everywhere. She’s constantly asking for “Gong Gong” whenever he’s not in sight. She even told my Mom bye when Grandma tried to take her from Grandpa. Being Mckayla’s favorite has also made Grandpa very happy. Yesterday morning, we heard Mckayla crying via the monitor at [...]

Terrible Two?
We think Mckayla has hit the “Terrible Two”. She’s been acting up whenever either Ted is or I am home. When she doesn’t get what she wants, she starts to cry. It’s not the soft whimper but out loud crying with tears dripping down her cheeks. Making a big scene and waiting for Grandma and [...]

Potty Training – Snake!
Mckayla pooped in her potty for the first time yesterday! But she wasn’t too happy about it. I got the story from my Mom and Nanny…. She was sitting on the potty trying to poop. It took a little pushing and it came out. Mckayla must heard or felt something dropped, she jumped up immediately [...]

Potty Training?
We’ve contemplating about potty training for a while now. And all we’ve done so far is asking Mckayla to sit on her potty right before her bath. So far, we only had one successful incident that she actually peed in the potty. Yesterday, I came home from work and I was surprised to find lots [...]

You can go away now!
Mckayla knows when she’s in trouble. She knows she’s not supposed to open the cabinets in the kitchen or reach into drawers, but often she just couldn’t resist the temptation. She loves playing with pots and pan, acting like a little cook. This morning, Mckayla was with me in the kitchen while I was getting [...]
